THINGS TO KNOW
VOLUNTEER RECEPTIONISTS
Welcome back to all those that went on the
Mackinac Island trip. I have talked to a few of
the travelers and they all said that they had a
wonderful time. The next big trip is Tuscany and
the Italian Riviera. Boy, wouldn’t it be great if
we could all go and enjoy that pizza and wine
or maybe a bit of the good ol’ Italian spaghetti.
Well maybe someday...Traveling has always
been one of my great joys and I am so happy
when others are able to make these trips and
come home with all the beautiful pictures and
stories of the fun times they experienced.

The first day of fall has come and gone. So many of
the trees and shrubs are turning vibrant oranges,
reds and mixed fall colors already. Almost time to get
the rakes out to begin the yearly raking of the fallen
leaves and the loppers to trim the bushes and shrubs.
The Bremerton Senior Center is open to all
people ages 55 and better. The annual user
fees are listed on page 3 & the back cover.
SUMS had the 1st annual Fall Fest on September
9th and it was a huge success. The food was great
and the talent was phenomenal. Thanks to all the
Assisted Living facilities that donated food and
time and a big thanks for all those who helped
clean up. I know that I have said it before, but I
am going to say it again..without all the help our
luncheons wouldn't be the success that they are.
The Bremerton Senior Center is a division of
the City of Bremerton Parks & Recreation
Department. The Active Us is published five
times a year.
Mission Statement:
The Bremerton Senior center is committed to
enriching Senior lives in Bremerton by providing

features over 1/2 million lights which transform the
Bellevue Botanical garden into a blossoming winter
wonderland. Over 150,000 people enjoy the dazzling
display each December. This is a walking tour outside
so dress appropriately please. Following our light trip,
we will head to Maggiano's Italian Restaurant for a
delicious meal served family style. Transportation,
